“ Always great!!! So many options and variety Many types of rice, soups, chicken meat shawerma desserts It absolutely means all you can eat!! You want to eat more but you can't, you feel so full ”
“ Great buffet option in Cologne. Visited this place with a group of 10 friends. Seatings are available for groups of all sizes. Only worth it if you can have an ample appetite and atleast try 3/4 of the dishes. They have hot water and kava available, all the other drinks are extra and not included in the buffet charges. Would definitely advise to leave some space for dessert as well, since they have plenty of options for that as well. Really loved the shawarma, pickles and the rice options present. Would definitely recommend this place if you are a fan of the Middle Eastern cuisine. ”
“ Great place! Amazing tastes! Highly suggested for everyone into Arabic or Syrian cuisine.. ”
“ Best restaurant in the town. You can eat whatever you want in just 15 Euros. The food was great in taste. Staff continuously refill the buffet. You don't have to wait for the food. The taste of the food is a subjective matter, since it's an Arabian cuisine so better not to expect spicy flavor. ”
“ Mandel is a busy Arabic "All You Can Eat" restaurant with lots of food options. You can fill your plate with shawarma, rice with different flavors, salads, soups, grilled meats, fried chicken, and even German-style dishes like pommes. The food is tasty but very oily, and usually one plate is enough. Drinks aren’t included — like 2€ for a Fanta or coffee. They also have baklava and fresh fruits. It’s often crowded, especially with families and kids, but for 15€ on weekdays, it’s a great place if you're really hungry and love Arabic food. ”
“ Mandali is an amazing place. It's a Syrian "all you can eat" buffet, and believe me, you will love to eat all. I tried at least 15 different dishes, and all of them were perfectly cooked. The service was super even considering that during Ramadan season, at 6:30, it gets fully packed. I have to say it is one of the best foods I have ever had. They serve around 10 different desserts, fruits, coffee, and tea. The best part: the price: €15. This is at least $50 in the USA. When in Cologne you can't miss this place. ”
“ We had an amazing dinner here. It is an “all you can eat” Syrian buffet. It was pretty crowded on a Sunday evening. Loved the spread. There was so much variety. Starting from various salads, hummus, dips, shawarma, soups, currys, grilled meats, types of rice, freies, fruits and assortment of desserts. We had a great time. Couldn’t decide what to eat. We were so full by the time we finished. The baklava was just wow. Buffet was 15€ per person. Drinks are not included but it’s only 2euro extra. Highly recommend this restaurant if in the area. ”
